Hi there.

Anyone knows how to use numpy / scipy in order to solve this ?

* A is an array of shape (n,)
* X is a positive float number
* B is an array of shape (n,)
* O is an array of shape (n,) containing only zeros.

A.X - B = O
min(X)

thanks.

Looks like an incorrectly specified degenerate linear least squares
problem. The function numpy.linalg.linear_least_squares might be able
to do what you want.
